Testimonials

“Jill was an incredible source of encouragement, empowerment, and support as we welcomed our son into the world! From pregnancy to birth to the early weeks of parenthood, we were so grateful to have her by our side. Jill helped us encourage our baby into a great position for birth, and she also helped me stay calm through the intense experience of labor. I was able to have the empowering, unmedicated labor I wanted, and I truly believe Jill's advice and comfort measures made all the difference!
As first-time parents, we were so grateful to be able to turn to Jill with any questions that came up as our pregnancy and birth unfolded. And she continued to care for us during our first six weeks postpartum, visiting us in our home and texting us with questions and resources. She even took beautiful birth photos that we'll treasure forever! We're beyond grateful for all the ways Jill guided us into life as a family of three. We can't recommend her enough!”

“One of the best decisions we made for the birth of our little one was having Jill as our doula. Jill made us feel at ease, helping us through decisions, preparing us, and being available to respond to all our questions. She has a steady, confident and compassionate presence. Jill is able to read the room well and was an amazing guide through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. We appreciated her value of supporting us as a couple; being there for both the birthing person and the support person. She is a wealth of knowledge and resources. In labor Jill helped make position suggestions, supported us in weighing out pros/cons for decisions, provided some reprieve for the support partner, took photos and so much more. Words are not enough for how meaningful the experience with her has been. Such a vulnerable, life changing time and she honors that so well! We cannot recommend her enough.”

“We didn’t think we wanted a doula at first but chose pretty late in the game to hire one. We didn’t know what to look for, so we interviewed a couple. The minute we met Jill, we knew. She was the perfect match of educator (from both research and personal experience), comedian, coach, and friend. Jill gave us good homework and exercises and helped us make plans for all possible directions our labor could take. Once the day (night) arrived, Jill met us at the Birthing Center and was there all 18 hours of labor (after having just come from another birth). She not only kept our morale strong, she took photos and she offered helpful position changes and options to try when things felt extra hard. She translated all of the medical and stressful information into easy to digest choices and advocated for what she knew we wanted (even when we lost sight of that goal). We feel like Jill was an essential part of our pregnancy/labor/postpartum experience. 6/5 stars. Blue ribbon, gold medal, platinum record. We would choose Jill again and again.”
— C. & B.

“If you are considering working with a doula, specifically Jill, don't wait! Reach out as soon as you can. We had the most amazing birth experience we could have imagined, largely due to Jill helping us prepare and be in such a positive and calm state leading up to and on the day of our baby's delivery. She is approachable, relatable and has such a great demeanor. We had to switch hospitals while I was in labor due to staffing and then my epidural didn't kick in, but we stayed calm and were truly not stressed because we had the best support at our side. My husband and I will absolutely work with Jill in the future if/when we have another baby. She is not only helpful for the person birthing, but for everyone involved. We will forever be grateful for the opportunity to work with her and have her be part of our birth experience!”
— E.C.

"As I prepared to give birth to my first child earlier this year, I knew I wanted the support of a doula to guide me through this challenging and transformative experience. I turned to Jill because I was so inspired by her perspective and the depth of her knowledge about the entire birth process. Jill is one of the most compassionate, respectful and kind people you will meet. She was also able to assertively advocate for me during my birth and empower me to continue with my labor goals despite unexpected complications. Her biggest gift to me was her calming and incredibly patient presence during my entire labor and delivery. My labor was complicated by an acute illness which left me feeling very weak, and Jill physically helped me into the most comfortable position during each and every contraction for over twelve hours. Knowing she was there by my side helped me to relax and follow the lead of my body to bring my baby into this world. She carefully observed what was working for me and helped my husband support me in ways that were truly comforting. The birth of my son turned out to be one of the most thrilling and wonderful experiences of my life, and that was due in large part to Jill’s skilled, personal and dedicated support."

“I can't speak highly enough about the exceptional care and support I received throughout my pregnancy and birth journey with Jill Pullen. No doubt it was a 5/5 star experience. From the very start, Jill's weekly communications were invaluable, providing insightful tips on everything from preparing for labor to recommending pregnancy products, along with guiding questions for my doctor appointments and connecting me with local resources.
When it came to labor and birth, Jill truly went above and beyond. We had a thorough prenatal meeting where she meticulously discussed birth preparation and planning, offering evidence-based answers to all my questions and addressing any specific nuances related to my chosen birthing center. During the labor itself, Jill was an absolute rock, offering a wealth of invaluable advice, from medication management to ensuring I got enough rest before an induction. She was a steadfast advocate at every turn, empowering me to make informed medical decisions and ensuring that my birthing experience was as smooth as possible.
One instance that stands out is when Jill recognized that my baby was facing posterior and promptly guided us through the necessary movements to reposition the baby for a more seamless delivery. Her expertise in pain management was also remarkable, making the entire birthing process more manageable and empowered me to give birth naturally.
She also came by 1 week post-partum to check in on the family's overall wellness and provided addiitonal post-partum resources for support.
Jill played an instrumental role in my journey to motherhood, providing unwavering support, guidance, and expertise every step of the way. I am immensely grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her services to any expecting parent seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate doula. If you're considering a doula, look no further than the gold standard of birth doulas - Jill!”

“Jill made me feel so empowered, supported, calm, and uplifted during pregnancy and birth. My husband and I reached out to Jill prior to even getting pregnant, knowing we wanted a doula. After our first meeting with Jill, we both knew right away that her calm demeanor paired with her knowledge and experience gave us the confidence we needed to trust her in playing such an integral role in our birth journey. Hearing her own experience with giving birth naturally made me feel like she personally understood my wishes for a natural birth. It took a lot of the burden off of my husband as well, when it came to knowing how to be the best support person he could be — Jill shared tips and tricks for us both along way. Even before getting pregnant, Jill provided us with so many amazing resources that guided us immensely. During my pregnancy, Jill was available for us via text, call, and email, which made us feel so supported. She addressed all of our questions and concerns comprehensively, always giving us tools to dive deeper and learn more. Jill also provided us with a folder full of handouts that helped us prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally for birth as well as the 4th trimester. During the birth, Jill was extremely intuitive, and her energy was so calming. Knowing that she was so experienced in all things birth gave me peace of mind. Jill was our guide — literally she guided me to the labor and delivery unit, and set up the birthing room and birthing tub to feel like a spa — and figuratively she guided me mentally and emotionally through the entire journey of birth. I felt Jill could understand exactly how I was feeling, and knew just how to support me, advocating for my needs and guiding me with her words. She made the natural water birth of my dreams a reality, sharing her insights with the hospital staff which helped them tune into my very specific needs, which otherwise would have gone unnoticed. Her attunement is the reason I could be so relaxed and at ease. Without her, things would have gone so differently… she helped our little one get off to an amazing start in life, beginning with her first breath, and we are forever grateful. After the birth, Jill continued to support us by being a wonderful resource for all of our postpartum questions and concerns, including allowing us time to debrief about how the birth went, and providing us with special pictures she captured during the birth — moments we will forever cherish.”

“I’m writing on behalf of my family to recommend Jill as your doula with the highest regards. I would call Jill a true provider. Jill provided many things to us as new parents-to-be: knowledge, confidence, kindness, consistency, guidance, and advocacy. Jill’s guidance touched on all aspects of the birthing experience in such an appropriate and necessary way. She helped to prepare us for decision making during labor and delivery, led discussions about role expectations and how to support each other in our relationship in the postpartum time, guided me in building my birth preferences, and shared personal and professional experiences to help me with my own readiness for childbirth.
She shared her thoughts and insights on difficult situations while providing the whole picture with thoughtful detail, while also providing loving support of our personal choices, and creating a safe environment. She consistently checked in and remained a sincere, strong, and reliable presence throughout our time of working together. We felt very supported. She knows how to be there for you, simply put. Jill stayed by my side, come what may, through days of a hard labor and I felt comforted as if accompanied by a life-long friend. Jill provided support for our whole family including my partner and child, however I felt I had a true personal friend and confidant through such a new and uniquely challenging time. I always felt seen and uplifted. Jill brought nothing but love into our space and home with each visit. In my postpartum time, Jill played a critical role in helping us process our birthing experience. We ended up with many unexpected turns during childbirth and had to make lot of quick decisions. Without Jill’s support as our Doula during childbirth, as well as in the postpartum time to process the experience, we may be telling a very different story. And as new unexpected challenges and needs have surface, Jill has served as a wealth of resources for professionals in the field of infant care, postpartum recovery, and lactation. We knew we needed and wanted a Doula, but feel so blessed to have found Jill. She has a true gift.”
— M.A.

“It was an absolute joy having Jill as my birth doula. Her presence was so gentle and sweet and yet when she was needed she advocated with confidence, ease and clarity. Many times throughout my birth as I felt myself feeling unsure or lost and I would look at Jill and her eyes and strong spirit would guide me back to myself and the strength I knew I had. I also loved the extra post partum support, having Jill during this time was a great resource as a first time mom. I cannot imagine by birth without Jill. I highly recommend her.”
— K.B.

“Finding Jill as our doula was a huge blessing. This was our first time planning to have a natural birth at home. Jill really helped me to get my mind in the right place to prepare for our home birth by providing many resources and helping me find the best birthing class for me. When my birth started she was there every step of the way through every contraction helping to keep me comfortable and calm. Jill truly helped me achieve the birth I had hoped to have.”
— K.J.

“Hiring Jill was one of the absolute best things we did during my pregnancy. As a first time Mom I had A LOT of questions during my pregnancy and during the tough postpartum time. Jill never failed to answer in a timely, kind, and educational manner and I really could depend on her. My Husband and I descrbie her as a warm hug of a person you also don't want to mess with, and in my opinion that's the perect kind of person you want by your side during such a vulnerable time where you also may not be the best advocate for yourself. We highly suggest connecting with Jill and recommend her 100 times over!”
— M.K.

“Jill’s support and knowledge was great during pregnancy, but she was an especially amazing advocate to have by our side during labor. My labor was much longer than I had expected and had some medical complications. I’m usually so anxious at the idea of pain and hospitals, but I felt really comforted when I saw Jill working endlessly championing and supporting me and my husband (providing massages, following up with the medical staff, making sure we ordered food and water, making sure we both slept when we could, etc). The support before and after labor was invaluable as well.”
— K.G.

“The primary reason I hired Jill onto my birth team was to have extra support so I could labor at home for as long as possible, but at nearly 42 weeks I ended up checking into the hospital for an induction.
After a traumatic induction with my first, I had reservations about how helpful it would be for me to have a doula in a subsequent induction but HOOOO-LY COW was she worth every penny!
My son's birth came with a number of surprises and she walked us through every one of them with so much compassion and patience. Toward the end of my labor my son's heart rate became unstable and we began discussing alternative birth plans with my midwives. Jill helped me get into positions that kept my son stable and allowed me to avoid an emergency c-section. I wholeheartedly believe she is the main reason I was able to have the beautiful, joyful birth experience of my dreams.”
— J.J.

"As first time parents, there were many unknowns around pregnancy and birth -- and Google can be such a confusing/conflicting place for simple questions. We chose Jill as our doula because we could tell in our first intro meeting she had a calming and knowledgable presence (we weren't wrong!). Throughout our journey, she happily answered questions and provided resources/info I wouldn't have necessarily thought to ask for, such as having my husband and I take a personality quiz so we could best understand how to take care of each other in the stressful times ahead with a newborn. She stayed with us my entirely labor/delivery, which was nearly 24 hours between laboring at home and in the hospital. As happens for many, my birth deviated from the birth "plan" we'd developed, and Jill remained supportive throughout as my wishes changed in real time -- she was committed to making sure the decisions made were right for me. Truly, Jill was born to be a doula, and I will 100% work with her again for any future births."
— Q.B.

“Jill was amazing! We had a relatively uncomplicated labor and postpartum but her support was still priceless from knowing what to expect and how to cope with labor pains to feeling confident that my breastfed baby was getting enough. Where her services really shone through though was at the end of my pregnancy. At the end my medical team recommended induction at 39 weeks due to chronic hypertension but I had planned to let labor happen spontaneously. Jill helped me talk through what I was feeling and weigh some of the risks and benefits to waiting vs scheduling so that I felt comfortable and confident in my decision.”
— E.M.

“Jill was such a wonderful support throughout my pregnancy and birth! Both my husband and I truly feel like we couldn’t have done it without her. She helped us feel prepared throughout my pregnancy and during labor/birth she was the exact calm, attentive, knowledgeable and supporting presence that we needed as first time parents. Jill was so in tune with me during labor and knew exactly when to gently suggest a position change, when to try something new, and she even knew the moment I was fully dilated! It was so great to have her at the hospital advocating the entire time for the birth that I wanted and ensuring my plan was respected. With her help, I was able to have the natural, unmedicated, beautiful birth I hoped for. If we have any more children then we absolutely will be choosing Jill again as our doula!”
— A.C.

“Hiring Jill was one of the best decisions we made for our first pregnancy and birth. She is so knowledgable, supportive, kind, and reassuring. Her presence and support made it possible for me to focus on my labor and birth without any anxiety about what was going on around me, and her postpartum support was a huge help as baby and I worked on figuring out our new life together. I can't say enough nice things - Jill is a gem of a human and an incredible doula!”
— L.C.

“Jill was such an incredible doula, we were blown away by how knowledgeable she was first meeting her in the sessions before delivery. She helped me so much with positioning during labor knew exactly when to contact the midwives. I truly don’t think a home birth would have happened without her guidance.”
— A.C.

“Jill was amazing! She provided so many helpful resources and tools (reading materials, exercises, etc) to help me make informed decisions about my labor preferences and to better prepare me for birth. She was a great sounding board and I could trust her to provide us with unbiased, evidence-based information and feedback. She has a wealth of information about the birth experience and having her with us during my labor gave me a greater sense of security and confidence - her support and calm energy helped me get through what ended up being a traumatic experience (emergency c-section).
She was also incredibly prepared, equipped with everything from candles, fans, etc to make my labor more comfortable. I also really appreciated the massage and acupressure.
She spoke up when I needed something - even small things like nasal spray when my sinuses were dry.
She provided explanation (in depth) on some of the options that were presented to me by doctors and nurses during my labor, so I had a clearer or deeper understanding of risks and benefits of each one.
All in all - she was there for me the entire time, and that allowed me and my partner to just focus on comfort measures and making important decisions for me and my baby.”
— L.M.

“My husband and I can't recommend Jill enough as a doula! From the very beginning of our pregnancy journey, she was an incredible source of support. Jill came to every meeting meticulously prepared, answering all our questions with an abundance of knowledge. She wasn't just focused on birth, but on preparing us for labor and even protecting our relationship in the often-stressful postpartum period. Her proactive communication throughout pregnancy was invaluable. She equipped us with information on preparing for labor, from pain management techniques to helping us understand different birthing options. This knowledge gave us immense confidence going into delivery. But Jill's impact truly shone during labor itself. She became our advocate with the medical team, ensuring our preferences were heard and respected. Her calm demeanor and deep understanding of the birthing process were a constant source of strength for both of us. Looking back, there's no doubt that Jill played a critical role in our positive birth experience. We wouldn't have navigated it as smoothly without her by our side. In fact, Jill felt like an extension of our medical team. She worked in tandem with the doctors and nurses throughout my labor, providing not only emotional support for us, but also practical assistance and knowledge that complemented their expertise. It was a true team effort, and Jill's presence made all the difference.”
— C.L.

“My husband and I decided to hire a doula early on in my pregnancy, and I was already so confident in choosing Jill after our initial interview. She was always eager to answer any question I had during my pregnancy, which helped me navigate my prenatal appointments with hospital based Midwives. She helped me create a birth plan that made me discover what was really important to me when it came to my labor and delivery, as well as facilitate conversation with my providers on birth preferences. I ended up having a 39 hour birthing time, and less than ideal circumstances with meconium stained water that broke as the first sign of labor. Jill was so incredibly supportive the entire time, and she really guided us with different comfort measures, as well as techniques to help me progress. She was hands on when we needed it, and hands off when we needed space. I had a challenging labor that didn’t at all go how I expected or wanted it too. But I still look back on it as such a beautiful positive journey, and Jill is a huge reason for that.”
— H.R.

“I am so thankful that I hired Jill as my doula. She was not only extremely knowledgeable about VBACs but she was also so supportive throughout the emotional journey of pregnancy and birth. I don’t think I would have been able to have such a wonderful VBAC experience if I didn’t have Jill as my doula. I’m recommending her to all my pregnant friends! Jill is the best!”
— S.C.

“Jill is an amazing doula and I am so grateful to have had her support through the birth of our first child. At every stage, from pre- to postpartum, Jill provided the knowledge and reassurance that we needed as we navigated a lot of firsts.
I wanted to have an unmedicated, midwife hospital delivery but was worried that complications might arise due to my “advanced maternal age” (38). In the weeks leading up to my due date, Jill helped me make a birth plan and led me and my partner through exercises that allayed a lot of my fears and helped us feel more prepared.
When my due date came and went, Jill helped me talk through the different possibilities, as I was hoping to avoid a hospital induction. When I did go into labor spontaneously a few days later, my contractions were immediately so short and close together I thought at first that it was false labor, but Jill heard me on the phone and told me I should call my midwife and head to the hospital, and she met us there. I made it to the hospital just as I started active labor – without Jill’s advice, I would have probably waited at home far too long.
During labor and delivery, Jill was incredibly helpful and reassuring. She recommended different positions, gave my husband ways to support me, helped me make decisions, and provided the calm, steady encouragement that I needed. Thanks to Jill’s assistance, I was able to have the unmedicated labor and delivery that I had hoped for.
I highly recommend Jill and hope to have her by my side for any future pregnancies.”
— C.S.

“Jill is incredible! During labor, I felt like I was running a marathon, and she was right there next to me with everything I didn’t even know I needed and coaching along the way. I would one hundred percent recommend her, she clearly knows what she’s doing and tailored care to fit how she felt would work best for us. Thank you for making our birth an incredible experience, Jill!”
— R.W.

“We chose Jill as our doula, and I truly can’t imagine my birthing experience without her. She stayed with us my entire labor, from home to going to the hospital through the birth of our daughter. She helped decode medical language for us in the hospital and continued to advocate for me throughout the entire process. Many of the nurses even commented how helpful she was to have! If you’re considering a doula, just got for it — and choose Jill. 🫶”
— Q.B.

“Jill was an amazing doula! My husband and I knew as soon as we interviewed her.. she was the one. I loved her personality, confidence, knowledge, and calming presence. I felt like I was in good hands - and I was. It was a very long labor and Jill was with me! She went above and beyond, and we still appreciate and think of her today. A couple little bonuses was that she took pictures during the labor and she even cut our little Leon's umbilical cord! I never thought I'd want pictures of the delivery, but they totally captured the moment and I look at them so much as I remember the best day of my life!”
— R.S.

“Jill believed in me and supported my goal of a VBAC through the whole process. When my doctor said it was unlikely and tried to use scare tactics with me in order to schedule a C-section, Jill sent me information to seek clarity. She recommended the acupuncturist who was able to help me start labor. When labor started, Jill was promptly at my house coaching me through my breathing. She was like Mary Poppins in the hospital room with things that I had not known I would need in the delivering room like a fan and chapstick. On top of all of that in the moments in the delivery room when I was ready to give up, she helped push me to the finish line of an unmedicated vaginal birth and I’m so grateful for her!”
— B.R.

“My husband and I highly recommend Jill as a Doula. This was my first pregnancy and Jill gave us both peace of mind. She walked us through the process and the decision making step by step. She is very personable and professional. She gave us the information we needed to make good decisions, and supported us all the way through. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. My husband was nervous about how to help me because this was his first time, and English is his second language. Jill's presence allowed him to be relaxed and confident. With her guidance, he was able to be fully involved in the birthing process as a husband and new dad. Likewise, I was able to be completely focused on giving birth. Jill knew what positions to try. She also brought an inflatable support and other positioning equipment to assist me. When the baby's head was stuck, I knew Jill was guiding me through every natural option to get him out safely. When I was too exhausted to think, Jill was there helping me time my breaths and pushes. She knew what I needed to do. In the end, I had a successful birth. We will definitely use Jill services again in the future if have more children. I highly recommend her.”
— R.F.

“I highly recommend having a doula at your birth! Our experience with Jill was so fantastic and such an answer to prayer! This was my 4th birth and my 1st having a doula. I wish now that I had a doula for all my previous births. Having Jill there as a support made such a difference. She was so helpful during our pregnancy and labor with small suggestions to cope with the pain, to work through any fears/anxiety, to bigger things like laboring positons and handling all the curveballs this pregnancy had. It was a harder pregnancy but that was definitely my easiest delivery and I know having her there really made a difference. I appreciate her calmness while having a positive, realistic attitude. Our birth plans changed when my water broke and we had to go to the hopsital. She stayed with us the whole time but it really felt like she was family. Our beautiful daughter is finally here and I am so grateful Jill was there to help us bring her into the world safely! I will be recommending her to others and if we have any more little blessings I won't hesitate to contact her again!”
— T.L.

“Jill was wonderful to work with. She regularly checked in during pregnancy and answered my questions promptly. She was there for us during labor, being a supportive member of our team at the hospital. My husband and I found the postpartum visit to be profoundly helpful being able to talk through the delivery with Jill as she was able to provide details we were not aware of at the time and a perspective that helped us process the experience. It was very therapeutic for us. She continued to support us and provided great parenting tips and links to help us as we navigated the first weeks of parenting. We highly recommend Jill as a doula!”
— S.B.

“Hiring Jill was not only the best decision we made but worth every dollar. She provides you with so much comfort and knowledge at the time when you most need it. When your in labor you can be so vulnerable to everything but having Jill there gives you the comfort that you know you will make the best decisions because of the support she provides. If you are thinking twice don’t think anymore hire her because your birth experience will be so beautiful regardless of the outcome. Thank you Jill for everything we forever will be grateful.”
— E.G.

“Jill is an amazing and knowledgeable doula that I would recommend to all birthing people! I felt empowered and prepared going into my labor and delivery because of our pre work together. Her warmth and generous support made my birth experience truly wonderful. Thank you so much Jill.”
— C.A.

“I’m so grateful that I found Jill and my family was able to work with her. She is extremely thorough and well prepared from the start. The prenatal sessions were very helpful and she provided a plethora of information for most situations of labor/delivery. When I needed her guidance she quickly responded through text. My delivery did not go as I’d like but it was comforting to have Jill by my side. My immediate family wasn’t able to attend the birth of my son. It was nice to have Jill by my side, she held my hand during the entire C-section and was so encouraging. It felt as if I had a sister in the room with me. Post partum she quickly connected with me and went through questions I had in detail with videos and documents.”
— A.R.

“Jill was crucial in providing evidence based information that helped to guide the entire birth process. We are so grateful for her help every step of the way to navigate decisions with the unexpected. She had resources and handouts for every question we could think of. We are so happy to have had her!”
— L.K.

“I had a complicated delivery that included 48 hrs of labor with emergency C-section surgery. Jill was with me throughout my labor and delivery. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She is knowledgeable and experienced. She helped us to make proper decisions under the given circumstances. Post-delivery she stayed in touch to provide further emotional support. She is genuinely a nice person. I would definitely recommend her.”
— A.B.

“Jill was a great support! Very good at making suggestions and at being in line with other providers. Great communication, and a great liaison for the patient. Thank you!”
— J.J. RN (Labor and Delivery Nurse)

“Jill went above and beyond in supporting our family before, during, and after birth. This was our second child, so we knew what to expect, but also knew that we wanted the support of a doula during birth. Jill helped us to have the birth we envisioned and provided wonderful support when post-birth complications arose. Thank you, Jill!”
— K.R.

“This was my first birth, and although I had done a lot of reading and research, there was still so much that I was eager to learn in preparation for labor and early postpartum. After meeting Jill for the first time, I knew she was going to be a perfect fit for our family. Jill is so kind and warm, which made conversations with her so easy and natural. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared so many resources with us that I was able to print out and review throughout pregnancy. She was so open with us, sharing personal experiences that were relevant and helpful. She never pressured us into making any decisions. She made it very clear that she was our advocate and shared information, but that decisions were up to us and she would support us with whatever we chose. She was so helpful in preparing my birth plan and easing anxiety about my decisions. During the last few months of my pregnancy as things started to become very real, meeting with her left us with so much confidence and eased our anxiety. Having her with us through labor was such a gift. During labor there are so many people in and out of the room, giving directions and input. Jill was a consistent face and presence during labor. She gave incredible direction to my husband who wanted to be helpful but didn't exactly know how, she re-explained information provided by doctors, she suggested different position changes to ease labor pains, and she was essential in the moments after birth to ensure skin to skin and immediate breastfeeding. When the doctors recommended forceps be used for the birth of our baby, she ensured I understood what that meant and that it was the right decision for me. She checked in multiple times postpartum and always made herself available. We are so grateful for Jill's role in our baby's birth and would not change anything about this experience.”
— M.O.

“My experience with Jill was super positive. She was my doula for my first birth, and I couldn’t have done it without her. Jill was knowledgable and professional, yet kind and warm. She is incredibly patient and brings an energy that is calming and reassuring. She was also great about providing resources and sharing information.”
— S.C.

“Jill was the doula for my second baby and I was so grateful to have her there. She helped manage pain, keep labor progressing and created such a calm and supportive environment for my husband and me throughout the whole labor. I cannot sing her praises enough. I tell everyone I know about how great she was and how thankful I was to have a doula there by my side. She was professional, warm and supportive, and she was very VERY helpful.”
— B.J.

“Jill was such an amazing support for me during my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post-partum. She made sure I felt cared for, heard, and safe. She helped me create a birth plan that was what I wanted and helped me adapt it as my end of pregnancy changed (Gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, etc). I went into labor quick and she was on the phone with me and my husband and beat us to to the hospital. She helped me advocate for myself when I was at the hospital, held my hand and coached me through my hard contractions. Jill truly loves what she does and it shows in the amazing work she does.”
— B.S.

“Jill was an incredible doula! She really helped prepare my spouse and I for our daughter's birth. My labor was very long and Jill hung in there with us the whole time, giving me suggestions and support. When our birth plan changed partway through the labor, she helped make the transition as easy as possible, and it put my mind at ease knowing she had our backs through it all. She took some incredible pictures for us right after our baby was born. These are some of the best and most precious photos we have! I highly recommend Jill!”
— C.F.

“I think beyond educating and preparing us for the birthing process, Jill was truly a rock for us throughout our entire journey. She approached questions and worries with deep sincerity and warmth (not to mention, with swift, thorough responses), and that's all a first-time mama could ask for. When faced with an unplanned c-section, my partner and I were thankful to have Jill help us understand what was happening and work through our fears. We went into the surgery a million times more confident and ready, thanks to Jill. Without a doubt, we'd recommend Jill to anyone looking to have a well-supported, empowering journey to parenthood.”
— M.K.

“My doula, Jill, was the key to my amazing hospital birth. I unfortunately had to switch from a home birth to a hospital birth at the end of my pregnancy and I’m so glad she was on my team. I absolutely needed her! Thank you Jill!”

“Jill was an excellent addition to our birth team. She provided wonderful resources for my husband and I, in preparation for our birth and early days with our newborn. Jill is passionate about all birth, but I felt she was extra excited about helping us prepare for our homebirth. I appreciated Jill’s calm support and guidance as I went “overdue” and was anxious for my baby’s arrival. My favorite part of having Jill at our birth was that she took many beautiful photos during our birth, and I’ll cherish those memories of our first birth forever.”

“Jill was an incredible support to us throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She is a wealth of knowledge, and her experience was a comfort in the delivery room. She helped us make informed decisions, guided my husband in the ways to best support me during labor, and consistently checked in with us throughout the whole process. Whether this is your first or fourth birth, I highly recommend hiring Jill!”

“Jill was such a great addition to our pregnancy journey, she was so supportive, responsive and comfortable to be around. During labor and birth she was very patient with me and helped in any was she could (environment, communication, affirmations, fan, water, touch, ideas , suggestions and more). One of the biggest thing I will forever be thankful for was her taking pictures! Thanks to her I have a tangible memory, so much was documented by her, it is so beautiful to look back and see.
Thank you for being a part of our story Jill!”

“Updated review - We hired Jill 3 years ago during my first pregnancy and had a great experience with her then. That birth ended up being an unplanned c-section due to my daughter's heart rate during labor. We hired Jill again this year for our second and again, had a great experience working with her before and during labor. She was incredibly helpful at the hospital with positions that helped progress labor and get baby in the right spot for pushing. She was supportive of my decisions and helped me feel confident about them (delaying induction, epidural timing, etc...). Jill was also great at allowing my husband to be involved throughout labor. I ended up having the VBAC I hoped for and a healthy baby. I attribute much of that to Jill's expertise and am so grateful she was a key part of my birth team. I cannot imagine going through labor without a skilled doula and highly recommend Jill!

Review from 2021 - My husband and I hired Jill Pullen through Doula Love in April for a June baby. We were very happy with the service Doula Love provided as well as their labor prep class we took as part of the birth doula package.

Jill was an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I knew from the initial interview with Jill that she would be a kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable addition to our birth team. We appreciated her ability to immediately connect with us and listen to our questions about pregnancy and birth. She thoughtfully addressed all our concerns with data driven facts. The handful of meetings we had with Jill before our due date were extremely helpful and packed with information to get us prepared. She gave us "homework" between meetings that my husband and I also found helpful. When our due date came, Jill was supportive and communicative through a whole extra week of pregnancy until I went into labor. At the hospital, we were so grateful to have her with us. We felt confident with every step of labor and decision we made because of the support Jill provided.

Jill is professional yet personable. She is thoughtful, attentive, and kindhearted. Her knowledge and support helped me in the throes of pregnancy and labor. I highly recommend hiring a doula no matter where and how you plan to give birth and Jill could be your gal!”

”I can't say enough good things about Jill !!! she was always available by phone or text when I had questions and really made the whole birth experience wonderful. I felt save by knowing I had someone constant by my side that I can trust and that would act as an advocate for me! “

“Jill was fantastic! She showed up for me exactly how I needed her to. Having her there eased my mind and helped me have a great delivery. It was totally worth it to have her there for my first unmedicated delivery, even though it was my fourth baby.”
